In a recent interaction with fans on social media platform X, Ghost candidly expressed his reluctance, citing potential curses and familial concerns as deterrents.
No Plans for Tinubu’s Nigeria Album

Inspiration from Previous Work
The inquiries regarding a potential album on Tinubu’s government likely stem from Show Dem Camp’s previous project, ‘Clone Wars IV: These Buhari Times,’ which provided a critique of the nation under the former president. Ghost’s response underscores the gravity of the current socio-political climate and the complexities involved in addressing it through music.
Future Projects in the Works
While Show Dem Camp has ruled out the possibility of a new installment in their acclaimed ‘Clone Wars’ series, Ghost hinted at forthcoming projects. The duo, known for their innovation and versatility, continues to evolve creatively, with fans eagerly anticipating their next endeavor.
Legacy and Expectations
Show Dem Camp’s impact on Nigerian hip hop and alte music is undeniable, with their ‘Palm Wine’ series garnering widespread acclaim. As one of the country’s most talented musical acts, their next steps are eagerly awaited by fans and industry observers alike.
In conclusion, Ghost’s candid revelation provides insight into the artistic choices and personal considerations that shape Show Dem Camp’s music. While a Tinubu-themed album may not be on the horizon, the duo’s commitment to addressing pressing societal issues through their art remains unwavering.
